FAQs

Does this fan come with a controller?

No, this fan is designed to plug directly into your motherboard's ARGB and PWM headers for control.

Can I daisy-chain these fans together?

Yes, the Dynamic 3 includes daisy-chainable cables to make connecting multiple fans easier.

Is this fan compatible with 12V RGB headers?

No, this fan uses ARGB Gen 2 (5V) headers. Connecting it to a 12V RGB header will damage the LEDs.

What is the maximum speed of this fan?

The fan features precise PWM control with a maximum speed of 1800 RPM.

Can I use this for my liquid cooling radiator?

Yes, the high-performance design and static pressure capabilities make it suitable for radiator applications.

Troubleshooting

Fan lighting is not turning on

Verify that the ARGB cable is securely connected to the motherboard's 5V ARGB header and check your motherboard's software to ensure the port is enabled.

Fan speed is not adjusting

Ensure the fan is connected to a 4-pin PWM header on the motherboard and verify that the 'PWM Mode' or 'Smart Fan' setting is enabled in your BIOS.

Unexpected noise or clicking

Check that the fan mounting screws are tight and ensure no cables are obstructing the fan blades.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of airflow and static pressure
  • Fully customizable ARGB Gen 2 lighting support
  • Daisy-chain cables for easier cable management
  • Quiet and reliable rifle bearing operation
  • Precise PWM speed control

Cons

  • Requires ARGB Gen 2 headers for full functionality
  • Does not include a dedicated hardware lighting controller
  • Larger 140mm footprint may not fit all compact chassis

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward; the fan uses standard mounting holes compatible with most modern PC cases. To set up, simply secure the fan using the included screws in your desired orientation—either pulling air in or pushing it out. Connect the PWM header to a chassis fan port on your motherboard to enable speed control, and connect the ARGB lead to an ARGB Gen 2 header to manage lighting effects. For maintenance, ensure you occasionally use compressed air to remove dust build-up from the blades and housing, which keeps the fan spinning smoothly and ensures noise levels remain low over time.
